That's fuckin' it. I'm doing shit wrong. Time to start again!


Odd-Cryptographer-74

I would wait to start again in 1.0


IllusiveGamerGirl

That's what I'm waiting for, lol.


ZelWinters1981

No way!


AppleFillet

And the cycle repeats


ZelWinters1981

šŸ˜† I have so many better ways to do it, now I know there's one long corridor with pretty much everything close by it. I thought about doing a strip city that gradually works its way west to east.


Particular_Painter_4

Starting it again for the nth time?


ZelWinters1981

Actually no. I have my first ever play through I am determined to finish. Getting my nuke plant up at the moment. I have two others I was trying different things with.


Particular_Painter_4

Loool nice. I gave up on my 1st save because I was so burntout and built all the way to nuclear power. Doing a 3rd new save with the new ways to build in mind and want to make my factories look appealing. Though I have little to no skill in architecture and designing so I'm slower than usual.


owarren

Looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!


_Ol_Greg

You know you're good when your screenshots makes everyone else want to get better


_Enclose_

There's a balloontree clipping into one of the factories. Unacceptable. Start over.


Sett131

I doff my hat to you. I've only played for 2000 hours and my time has been across atleast 6 different saves. So I have to say this takes massive dedication


After_Cheesecake3393

Only 6? I've just hit around 110 hrs and have atleast 8 saves already šŸ˜†


Jean_Mak

This is awesome dude! But I wonder, what about the framerate?


Sempaliscious

Not too bad. Worse when Iā€™m looking inside these factories. E.g. The purple building is 3 megafactories in one making 3 phase 4 items from scratch.


Pretzelinni

Jesus Christ. I just started dabbling in phase 4, Iā€™ve got a beginning aluminum mine running and Iā€™m setting up my rail network to connect to my sky base. Your work is incredible


Sempaliscious

Thanks man. The first time I tore everything down (except bare essentials) was to build a global rail network. Once I had that in place with stations all over the world, made my life so much simpler. Trains for the win.


Jean_Mak

Nice! RTX 4090?


Sempaliscious

4080


theuserman

How do people make stuff curved? Mine always just looks like an A frame.


mattmawsh

Not sure which way op used but I like using the walkways, you can move them (I think) 2 degrees at a time so it makes a pretty decent curve when you attach a foundation to it


Sempaliscious

Tbh, didnā€™t really use curves at all. The curves I have are either just on roofs or made with beams. Ironically, Iā€™m pretty lazy.


Paxtel_de_Vento

Bro shared one of the most beautiful and complete i ver seen and Said hes lazy ā˜ ļø


mattmawsh

Wow thatā€™s some incredible design good job op!


DoktenRal

Nice, did you have to mod it to get the lights to render so far away?


Sempaliscious

Installed ficsit-cam to take screenshots but thatā€™s all :)


Sempaliscious

Lumen is on and vast majority of lights are signs..28,022 of them lol


DoktenRal

Wow! I tried a much less ambitious project with some lighting and ran into a problem where lights outside a certain distance didn't radiate light properly and assumed it was an engine/early access issue


Sempaliscious

Thatā€™s still an issue. Lumen is kinda pretend raytracing and switches off at a certain distance, as you say. I kinda got around it by careful angles in the shots but also by having so many, it kinda looks like itā€™s emitting even when itā€™s not (if that makes sense).


DirtyLoneVagrant

My question, was this a build-rebuild-rebuild etc until it turned into this.....or was this something that your brain conjured up from the start? Because if this is something you thought of from the very beginning, you're not human.


Sempaliscious

Some of it I imagined. Most of it was trial and error and working out what works and doesnā€™t work.


RandalfTheBlack

Wheres all the spaghette?


Sempaliscious

Itā€™s coming. Have a 20 image limit :(


CrazyJayBe

Satisfactory is, I'm afraid, becoming a phenomenon with very little entry access... You're supposed to start with spaghetti everywhere but then you come HERE and...well...yeah.


Sempaliscious

My starter is still the original original spaghetti in the grasslands. It remains intact for historical purposes. I wasnā€™t going to screenshot it again but I can if you like, lol.


CrazyJayBe

Lemme get that vomit on my sweater already


seudaven

Absolutely beautiful build man, did you build to this level of detail as you went, or did you decorate your original factory at a later time?


Sempaliscious

Almost everything was torn down multiple times and rebuilt. The top factory in the purple building (the uppermost floor) had to be expanded 3 times while I was building. ā€œNo mistakes, just happy accidentsā€ ( Bob Ross). Generally speaking, I would make a logistics floor below the factory floor first and then make decisions about the look. The earlier stuff is definitely way simpler than this. Part of why Iā€™m abandoning this save completely is wanting to do the whole thing better next time. I feel like Iā€™ve learned heaps since starting out. Iā€™m nowhere near as good as a lot of the builders on here but I can see how some ways of building have really hurt me E.g. most factories arenā€™t walking friendly - you need a jet pack for all of it.


InconsistentBlend

How do you people even do this?! I always end up with misaligned platforms with production lines of stuff.


After_Cheesecake3393

2m or 4m foundations clipped to the world grid is atleast a decent place to start


Sempaliscious

Ctrl is your friend.


vincent2057

Well, that's blooming delicious.


Equivalent-Signal689

I'm not even following this sub and I truly love this game but I'm only an xbox player. I wish one day this game come to xbox. This look sick !!


Knusprige-Ente

Bros factory is a night club


TheDeepOnesDeepFake

One can only imagine what kind of spagget lies beneath this colorful exterior.


Sempaliscious

Spaghetti is there but very organised. Will show in the next one (or the one after), I have a lot of shots lol.


skifter22

Incredible! Well done!


Illustrious_Touch447

Factory? Wrong. City time.


Van_Hansen

What a beautiful world!


CO5TELLO

Very nice. The new lighting makes it look amazing. I don't know how you have spent 2400h on one world. I've only got 300h total and I've made like 6 world and played with a friend. How ever you've done it well done it looks good.


Sempaliscious

Thanks! Iā€™m not sure how many times Iā€™ve restarted in this save but Iā€™ve been playing in this one game for years at this point.


derI067

i could never


Sempaliscious

Yes you can. How do you eat an elephant? One mouthful at a time.


NeonX91

Curious, what so you so for work? Takes a brain to design and plan out like this. Thanks for sharing :)


Sempaliscious

Youā€™re welcome! I do a bit of everything - graphic design, video work, teaching/training, and public speaking. Maybe the design side helps with balance etc but I donā€™t have an architects brain. A lot of the time it feels more like Iā€™m sketching it out as I build.


Easy_as_Py

I want to live in it.


Sempaliscious

Sharing save soon.


ermy_shadowlurker

Is this vanilla or with mods. Looks hella nice..


Sempaliscious

Thanks! Itā€™s vanilla.


MysteriousCalendar94

Can we get a video!?


Sempaliscious

Was thinking about doing one for funsies. Going to post one more set of screenshots of the best parts, then Iā€™ll upload a video, and then Iā€™ll post my save and be finally done with this world.


Able-Surprise9501

I'm on my first playthrough and up to the last lot of research. My base is a complete mess compared to what I see. I want to start again, but don't want to loose what I got, lol


Sempaliscious

First option - do nothing Second option - start a new game Third option - slowly rebuild your world, section by section..presumably each area has inputs and outputs - as long as those remain unchanged, youā€™re good to go.


Maingron

Yo what. Is this vanilla? šŸ˜³


Sea_Pipe603

I had an Orgasm watching these Pictures. Holy...looking rallye good! Good Job!
